Learn about Samuel Johnson.
Samuel Johnson, byname Dr. Johnson, (born September 18, 1709, Lichfield, Staffordshire, England—died December 13, 1784, London), English critic, biographer, essayist, poet, and lexicographer, is regarded as one of the greatest figures of 18th-century life and letters.
Johnson once characterised literary biographies as “mournful
narratives”, and he believed that he lived “a life radically
wretched”. Yet his career can be seen as a literary success story
of the sickly boy from the Midlands who by talent, tenacity, and
intelligence became the foremost literary figure and the most formidable conversationalist of his time. For future generations, Johnson was synonymous with the later 18th century in England. The disparity between his circumstances and achievements gives his life its especial interest.
Answer the questions using information from the video.
What did Samuel Johnson say about London
What makes London a great city to walk in
Samuel Johnson said that when one is tired of London, one is tired of life.
It is a great city to walk in because there are no hills and many things to see.
